WYSO Social Media Discussion Policy

Social media is a powerful tool in furthering WYSO’s mission to serve the Miami Valley and beyond with information and inspiration that improves lives and builds community. We use social media to connect and interact with different audiences and welcome engagement in the spirit of information sharing, promoting insightful discussion, and understanding of issues important to our community.

Although we encourage public interaction and communication about the content we post on our social media accounts, this does not imply that we agree with or accept the content, opinions, or views expressed within any public comment. All social media comments and discussion are regularly monitored.

While we do not discriminate against views or opinions posted to our social networking accounts, we reserve the right to immediately delete or hide any comment that we find to be in violation of our social media discussion & commenting policy. WYSO also reserves the right to remove/block users who violate this policy.

A comment violates this policy and may be deleted/hidden if it contains any of the following:
